Digital Forensics XML (DFXML) is the effort to create an XML schema to allow for easy interoperability between different forensic tools.

Development on DFXML to date has involved creating a set of tools that can produce or ingest XML with a common set of tags. It would be nice to have a more aggressive effort, but to date there has not been sufficient funding.

Given this state of affairs, our current strategy is to:

Develop a set of standardized tags and data representations for current XML tools.
